Description

Interface Summary

FieldInfo	Defines the interface to a container for Field metadata.
FieldValidationRule	Defines the interface for a constraint governing valid field values.
FieldValueOptions	Defines an object that can retrieve valid value options for fields.
FieldValuePattern	Defines an Object that is mechanism for specifying value patterns for field objects.

Class Summary

AbstractFieldInfo	Abstract implementation of the FieldInfo interface.
DefaultFieldValidationRule	Default implementation of the FieldValidationRule interface.
FieldType	Type safe constant class that contains the various supported FieldTypes of data.
FieldTypes	Support class that maintains the FieldType objects that are available for application use.
IntegerFieldInfo	Integer implementation of the FieldInfo object.
IntegerFieldValuePattern	Integer implementation of the FieldValuePattern interface.
IntegerValidationRule	IntegerValidationRule validates all Integer FieldType field values to ensure that the value conform to the rules of the field.
PropertiesFieldInfoFactory	PropertiesFieldInfoFactory is a factory class that is used to construct instances of FieldInfo objects using a Properties object as it's configuration object.
StringFieldInfo	String implementation of the FieldInfo object.
StringFieldValuePattern	StringFieldValuePattern implements a pattern for matching String values.
StringValidationRule	StringValidationRule validates all String FieldType field values to ensure that the value conform to the rules of the field.

Exception Summary

FieldException	FieldException is a general exception used to indicate that an error occurred dealing with Field objects.
IllegalConstraintException	IllegalConstraintException is used when an error occurs trying to set addition constraints on FieldInfo objects.
InvalidFieldValueException	Exception thrown when invalid field values are used populate field objects.
InvalidPatternException	InvalidPatternException is thrown when a FieldValuePattern object cannot be constructed because the given pattern is invalid.
UnknownFieldException	Thrown if an field with a specific name does not exist.

Package com.cafesoft.core.field Description

Contains generic field definition, pattern, and validation classes. The field package contains several classes that allow programs to specify patterns and validation classes for field level entry. This classes are the building blocks to more complex patterns and validation rules.
